iPad 3 is the one to watch, says Apple insider

Third gen tablet out this year?

An anonymous Apple staff member has described the iPad 2, due to launch today, as 'a ho-hum update', while tipping iPad 3 as the tablet to watch from Apple.

While we're counting down the hours and minutes until Apple whips the cloak of mystery off the new iPad 2, which we're expecting to feature a super-skinny screen and more processing power than its predecessor.

The Apple staffer also 'confirmed' that we'll see a relaunched MobileMe this afternoon, complete with cloud storage for your iTunes music and videos.

All in all, you could say it's not looking too brilliant for the iPad 2 right now – we all love a good gadget bashing session, but let's reserve judgement on the iPad 2 until it's officially revealed by Apple, shall we?
